On one axial side of the drive means a position detection means is arranged, which possesses an actuating member connected with the output drive shaft and which on rotary motion of the output drive shaft performs an oscillating movement about a pivot axis. The actuating member cooperates with sensors, which may be set on holders. Each holder is arranged on its own setting ring, such setting rings being arranged coaxially in relation to each other with the holders extending away from the drive means. The setting rings are able to be turned in relation to one another and furthermore in relation to the housing for setting the positions to be detected and may be fixed in the settings made.
